Alcoutim is a beautiful town, very friendly and calm. We ate at restaurants BH and O Contrabandista which were both exceptional. You can take a small boat 5 minutes across the river to Spain to another small town. There is a cool zip wire for 20 euros which crosses the border back to Portugal. There is lots of 14th century history in both towns. Legend says it’s a place where contraband was smuggled during battles. The overall peacefulness of the place is very relaxing and pleasant.

The hotel was very clean, the room pleasant but small, very quiet and peaceful excellent for chilling out.
Not a lot to see, restricted in restaurants, trip to Spain via the small ferry interesting, but again very little to see.
Surrounding area worth a visit

The hotel is set in a quiet location and has great views across the river (Spain is on the other side). The town of Alcoutim has good restaurants within walking distance ( 10 to 15 minutes). The hotel seems to attract Portuguese families with young children so the pool was always busy and noisy. The town has a small ferry boat to take you to the other side or take you on trips up and down the river (30 minutes or 1 hour for 7.50 euros or 15 euros respectively). There is also a river beach nearby but we did not use it. There are canoes, kayaks and jet-skis to hire very close to the hotel. The hotel room does not provide tea/coffee-making facilities. When we asked for a kettle they said they only had one which they needed for breakfast.

Near to Algarve beaches and near to Spain is a nice place to stay, but Managers should pay more atention and be able to do more to increase the profits.

A nice little village in the inner part of Algarve, close to the Spanish border. There isn't much to do there, but if you are looking for a place to get some rest away from everything, you will find it in Alcoutim. It gets HOT on Summer days, locals said it also gets COLD in Winter.
There are some monuments worth a visit, there are a handful of restaurants, there are some river activities. There is only a very small groceries shop, there are no supermarkets.
We had a very relaxing two-night stay at Hotel D'Alcoutim. The staff were very welcoming, whilst also accommodating, which made the stay enjoyable. As well as having breakfast both mornings we also ate at the hotel on both nights and couldn't fault the food served.
Great location. Lovely gardens and swimming pool. The hotel was very clean staff friendly. Not much food choice but what they had was good. snacky type food. My only complaint was the bed was very uncomfortable for me and my husband. Overall very good.
The hotel had a great location with fine views over the river.
The staff were friendly and created a very pleasant atmosphere.
Breakfast was good with a wide choice.
